Why is second ionization energy larger than first ionization energy

Chemistry
2 answers:
polet [3.4K]3 years ago

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom. When an electron is removed from an atom, the neutral atom becomes positively charged. When another electron is attempted to be removed from the same atom,this requires more energy than the first one, as the attractive force between the electrons and protons are greater owing to the presence of the extra proton. In order to break this force we need more energy to remove the second electron. Hence the second ionization energy is greater than the first ionization energy.

Hi!

Why is second ionization energy larger than first ionization energy?

The reason second ionization energy is larger is because it takes more energy to remove an electron from a poistively charged ion than it does from an neutral atom.

The attraction which exists between carbon diozide molecules in solid carbon dioxide is due to
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Van der waal's  force of attraction

Explanation:

Van der waal's  force of attraction

Forces of Van der Waals involve attraction and repulsion among atoms, particles, and surfaces as well as many other intermolecular forces. These vary from covalent and ionic bonding in that they are caused by similarities in surrounding particle fluctuating polarizations (a result of quantum dynamics).

Compounds are neutral substances. true false
Karolina [17]
True 
as a compound tends to be formed from the reaction between two or more elements to produce stable compounds if they had a charge they would be classified as an ion

What is the percentage error of length measurement of 0.229cm if the correct value is 0.225cm
Mars2501 [29]

Percent error is the difference between the measured and known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100%.

So first, we take our measured value, .299 cm, minus our known value, .225 cm.

.299 cm - .225 cm=.004 cm

Next, we divide that by our known value

\frac{.004}{.225}=.0177777778

Finally, multiply your answer by 100

.0177777778 x 100= 1.77777778 %

Round to three significant figures, and you're done.

=1.78 % error

Give the number of protons and electrons in each of these ions or atoms (show your work) Cs. Ba , .s
Morgarella [4.7K]

Explanation:

The sum of total number of protons present in an element is known as atomic number of the element.

  • As atomic number of Cs is 55.

And, it is known that for a neutral atom the number of protons equal to the number of electrons.

Since, no charge in present on given Cs atom it means that it is neutral in nature. Hence, number of protons and electrons present in Cs are 55.

  • For Ba, it is also neutral in nature and atomic number of barium is 56. Hence, number of protons and electrons present in Ba are 56.
  • For S, there is no charge on it so it is also neutral in nature. Atomic number of S is 16. Hence, number of protons and electrons present in S are 16.
